Ravikiran G Thirumalai 26799a6311 x86: fix incorrect __read_mostly on _boot_cpu_pda
The pda rework (commit 3461b0af02)
to remove static boot cpu pdas introduced a performance bug.

_boot_cpu_pda is the actual pda used by the boot cpu and is definitely
not "__read_mostly" and ended up polluting the read mostly section with
writes.  This bug caused regression of about 8-10% on certain syscall
intensive workloads.
